Dr. Frankel's academic training is in public health, with a focus on health promotion and disease prevention. Her past practice experiences include serving as a middle school science teacher through the Teach for America program, which sparked both a love of instruction and an interest in adolescent risk behavior. Under this umbrella of adolescent risk behavior, she has conducted a state-based evaluation of alcohol and prescription drug use efforts in Pennsylvania and worked with the School District of Philadelphia to administer the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System.

Duration
This course will take place in-person on Sunday, March 24, 2024, 2:00-5:30 PM in Chicago, IL, preceding ACHE's Congress.
Learning Objectives
- Discuss how you develop the foundation of your course through acknowledgment of students and your own teaching approach.
- Examine written communication in your course to determine how it contributes to a positive learning environment.
- Critically review student assessments and rubrics for clarity, comprehensiveness, and inclusive language.
- Compare and contrast participation and engagement and how inclusive active learning can be facilitated in a classroom setting.
Course Description
During and after this session, faculty attendees will have an opportunity to richly engage in discussion about how common classroom
structures may inadvertently exclude students. Starting with an examination of
their own identity and teaching practices, we will lead faculty on a journey
through their courses to identify opportunities for building a more welcoming
community. We operationalize this community through three arms: written
communication, assessment practices including rubrics, and class participation
and engagement. Faculty will learn from demonstrations, discussions, and hands-on
critique of their own syllabus, rubrics, and other documents. Attendees will
leave the session with practical, actionable steps that they can bake into the
fabric of a new course or implement immediately in an existing course. In sum,
the techniques and approaches in the proposal above will help faculty create
more inclusive, sustainable learning environments in any field and at any
academic level that they may teach.
